La Noche criticizes Teletón over Leo Rey viral parody
The musical group La Noche has publicly criticized the Teletón foundation for participating in a social media trend involving singer Leo Rey. The controversy stems from a viral moment at Parque O’Higgins where Leo Rey shouted a provocative message toward Alexítico, the current leader of La Noche.
Teletón released a video featuring its mascot, Teletín, parodying the incident. In response, La Noche expressed their displeasure on Instagram, stating that the joke loses its humor when it involves personal attacks and threats against a person and their family. The group emphasized that behind the memes and laughter, there are real human consequences.
Leo Rey revealed in a live stream that his bandmates had warned him backstage not to make the comment before his performance. Despite these warnings, the singer stated the outburst was spontaneous during his set.
